Duren 2

Vexx: So what we doing.

Nayer: What do you think?

Vexx: Uhhhh I really can't say.

Nayer: *sigh* Lets just write…

Vexx: Sure.

"That was very nice of Streak to give us a tour, but why did he leave so suddenly?" Nayer said.

"How should I know. One moment he's here the next. Poof!" Vexx replied.

"So what so you want to do?" Nayer asked.

"I think I'll just lie here for a little while longer." Vexx said lazily.

"Alright." Nayer replied.

The two teenage dragons were lying on a small grassy field underneath of a tree. They found the grass soft and relaxing so they decided to lie down for a while.

Everything was calm until a loud scream sounded throughout the cave.

Vexx and Nayer both jolted upright into a fighting stance.

"Grublins?" Nayer asked.

"No we would've seen them by now." Vexx replied.

"Come on, lets go check it out." Nayer said while jogging in the direction of the scream.

It seemed to Vexx that everyone else wanted to see what was going on. He looked around and saw everyone either walking or jogging to the scream.

"Hey! Wait up!" Vexx yelled after Nayer as he started to run to catch up to her.

When the two dragons arrived on the scene, Nayer was visibly shocked to her core, "Oh Ancestors."

Vexx and Nayer were looking at an older dragon possible a young adult cradling a young dead dragoness.

"My baby. My poor baby." The mother cried over and over again.

Vexx looked to his right and saw a male dragon about the same age as the female staring at the whole scene in shock. Vexx thought he must be her mate.

Vexx looked away as he felt his stomach churn. I took away their child! I'm a monster! Vexx bolted from the scene as fast as he could. The only place he thought about running to was the room they were given to sleep in.

When he reached the room he closed and locked the door so he could be alone. What have I done.

"Vexx? You in there?" A voice came from outside the door.

Vexx made no reply.

"Please let me in. What ever happened maybe talking about it will make it better." Nayer said soothingly.

Vexx again made no reply.

"Vexx! Open the door or so help me I will blast it down!" Nayer said in an angered tone.

Afraid to anger Nayer he quickly got up and opened the door to allow Nayer entrance.

After the door was once again shut and locked Vexx began talking, "You can't help me." He muttered.

"What? Of course I can help." Nayer said jokingly.

Vexx made no response to her joking manner, instead he just sighed, closed his eyes, and put his head down.

"Vexx, Please tell me. I hate seeing you like this." Nayer said.

"Leave me alone." Vexx said sadly. How can I live like this. Knowing I ended someone's life for my own personal gain. But when I slit her throat it did feel good. WAIT!? What am I thinking!?

"Vexx, I love you, but you need to tell me what is bothering you so I can help." Nayer said.

"We barely know each other. Leave me be." Vexx replied in a quiet voice.

"Barely know? Vexx do you love me?" Nayer asked.

Vexx made no response.

"Vexx! Do you love me?" Nayer asked.

"No." Vexx replied.

"Then tell me what is wr-" Nayer processed what he said. "What?"

"I-I don't love you…" Vexx said.

Nayer felt her whole world come down on her, "Wha-wha-what?" Nayer said in disbelief.

"The only reason I said I loved you was because I was afraid to leave you, I didn't want you to be left alone." Vexx explained.

"Ok. I understand." Nayer said as she got up.

Vexx opened his eyes and looked up at her. "Nayer look I-"

"No! Stop! Just stop." Then she ran out of the room sobbing.

"Nayer! Gah! Why can't things ever be easy." Vexx said as he walked up to the door again and shut it.

He walked back over to his cushion and lied down, "I want to be sad that I killed that dragoness, but I'm not. Why?" Vexx asked himself.

Nayer: So you don't love me?

Vexx: Sorry not really.

Nayer: And why is that! Huh! Am I just not good enough!

Vexx: It's not you its me.

Nayer: I have heard that excuse more than once Vexx! I'm not an idiot!

Vexx: Sorry…

*Nayer storms out of the room*
